Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering
Department Chair: Dr. Ramon Cerro The Program We appreciate your interest in pursuing an advanced degree in Chemical Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). We are a small, but active, department. Our faculty's research interests are in Fluid Mechanics, Mass Transfer, Combustion, Bioseparations, Biomaterials, Protein Crystallization, Microgravity Processing and Adhesion, Biofluid Dynamics, Cell Mechanics, and Cell and Tissue Engineering. Please feel free to contact any of the faculty either by e-mail or by voice mail; they will be happy to talk to you about their research interests. Huntsville is culturally and economically the most diverse of all cities in the State of Alabama. Huntsville is the Rocket City where the Saturn V Rocket was developed by Wernher Von Braun and his team of scientists and engineers. Today, a significant portion of the Space Station is being assembled by engineers working for the Boeing Company at the NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center. UAH faculty, including our own, are collaborating on a number of research projects with scientists at Marshall. In addition to a Master's Program in Chemical Engineering, our students can pursue a Ph.D. in the Joint Materials Science Ph.D. program. This is a tri-campus program within the University of Alabama System - Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Huntsville. Students can also obtain a Ph.D. in Engineering through our program with the Mechanical Engineering Department at UAH. Dr. Natacha DePaola, the Director of the Graduate Program, can help answer questions about all of these programs and about teaching or research assistantships. Dr. DePaola may be reached at (256) 824-6473, or by e-mail at depaolan@uah.edu. Admission Requirements For unconditional admission to the Chemical and Materials
Engineering graduate program, a student must hold a bachelor's degree
from an ABET accredited program, have a grade point average of at least
3.0 and a GRE score of at least 1500. Outstanding (3.5 GPA) students
from other technical fields may gain admittance to Chemical and Materials
Engineering by completing certain undergraduate courses. Prospective
students should complete the application forms for admission and financial
aid, and submit GRE scores and official copies of transcripts from each
institution attended. The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
is required of all students whose native language is not English. |
